ABSTRACT

Professional supervision is fundamental to reflecting on practice and ensuring organisational requirements are met. For supervision to be valued and understood, it is important that organisations or businesses have a well-developed organisational framework that espouses key components to form a holistic way of approaching supervision. Developing and implementing an effective organisational framework for supervision needs sound principles that ensure everyone in the organisational environment knows what a framework means, what it can deliver and how to incorporate it into their practice. Developing an organisational framework is more effective when staff can refer to a visual representation of what the framework looks like and what it is intended to deliver. An organisational framework needs to be clear and concise, easy to transfer into practice and has a shared language framework that everyone understands. The supervisor needs to demonstrate the ability to collaborate and form positive relationships with their supervisees, teams and the wider organisational system.
